Livescribe's Pulse Smartpen makes notetaking fun
Andy Ihnatko: I've owned exactly one really nice pen in my life: a $150 Lamy 2000 fountain pen. It looked nice, held a huge amount of ink, it was fun to write with.

Two flights of stairs later, my suspicions were confirmed: A concrete sidewalk is indeed harder than a 14-carat gold nib covered in platinum.

Andy Ihnatko: 'Good God, Andy! How is it that you're only just now getting around to talking about Pandora, an Internet radio service that launched nearly three years ago?" Hey! I have a personal life, you know? Do you think that 5,000-piece LEGO Ultimate Millennium Falcon over there just assembled itself? Besides . . . I had my reasons.
